Marriage and Partnership

Soooo, what is a “normal” weekly sex life for a couple with two young kids?? Anyone else SO exhausted and can’t find the “perfect” time during the day for sex.

One of my friends was telling me about this cotton stick (sorta like a tampon) that you insert after having sex and it soaks up all the cum/juice/whatever all that stuff is hahaha is this legit?? It would be nice to not have cum dripping out of me the next day even after I pee and shower.

Ok getting V personal here…my husband loves to go down on me and it is not my favorite and I would like to know if this is the norm or abnormal to not enjoy it that much?? Any tips to help enjoy it more??

Generally my partner and I agree on the big strokes of parenting and core values (phew). Overall, I think we split tasks evenly based on what we are best at (phew). We also have a fantastic relationship overall (phew). But with multiple kids the burnout is real and sometimes I feel (what feels to me? Maybe unfairly?) disproportionately overwhelmed as a mom. When tensions are high and I try to express frustration, set a boundary, or ask for support I sometimes feel like I’m being perceived or coming across as naggy, or condescending, or demanding. I don’t know if it’s because I get nervous and something gets lost in translation or something about my communication style gets mechanical, or if I’m just not great at asking for help and saying when something doesn’t feel great. Any strategies that work for others?

Anyone have any marriage counselors in the Austin area they love? We aren’t having any major issues, just trying to grow our relationship more after being together a long time.

I don't necessarily want an "upgrade" per se, as mine is/was perfect for me at the time. I love it so much and don't really want to get rid of it, but it does feel very youthful and reflective of the time that we got engaged. I've been non-stop thinking of a more mature and classic style but I don't want to offend my husband by making him think I don't love what he gifted me all those years ago. Has anyone done this and can share their experience?

I don’t like TV, so the show must not be slow and hook me early on. Also a plus if it’s not 10 seasons long haha! Looking for a few good shows to watch with my husband —
